evolution 3.18.0-1 crash at startup after upgrade

Where do I report this bug?
Does anyone else is having it?

Same thing happens after removing ~/.config/evolution

-- edit --

This happens when Numix theme is enabled.

Re: evolution 3.18.0-1 crash at startup after upgrade

I have the same issue on one PC but not on another. The only difference I can think of is that the failing PC has an AMD 64bit CPU and  an Nvidea card running nouveau and the working PC has intel 64 bit CPU & graphics.

<edit>
per CapSel comment on Numix, evolution also crashes with EvoPop and Faience as GTK+ themes. Setting to default Adwaita enables evolution work. This was the difference in the working and non-working PCs

Re: evolution 3.18.0-1 crash at startup after upgrade

I have the same issue when using numix-themes.
All is well when using Raleigh for example.

Re: evolution 3.18.0-1 crash at startup after upgrade

Yeah looks like something changed with gtk3 update (gtk3-3.18.1-1)
Downgrading fixed the issue for me.

Re: evolution 3.18.0-1 crash at startup after upgrade

after downgrading i got a segfault when trying to start nautlius, so i upgraded back to gtk3-3.18.1-1

commenting out the few lines containing "link_color" in gtk-3.0/gtk.css and gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets.css of the theme (Numix) seems to "workaround" the issue

Re: evolution 3.18.0-1 crash at startup after upgrade

The fix for this in GTK+ was included in 3.18.2, so this should be fixed now, without the need for CSS editing.
